Malt 379 Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 2 hours ago, king said: England's population : 50 million + Wales population: 3.1 million. If Wales's population was as big as England we would dominate world rugby. What lets that theory down is that NZ 'only' have a population of just under 5 million mate!

You could gave gone out in any town in Wales last night and it would have been bouncing! Be a few sore heads across Wales this morning! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shaaark 10,109 Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 England is four times the size of wales, and there are only 320 clubs in wales, against 2099 clubs in england. Puts it in a bit of perspective . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

England and Wales have played each other at rugby union since 1881. A total of 131 matches have been played, with England having won 62 times, Wales having won 58 times and 12 matches having been drawn. There is a considerable rivalry between the sides due to the proximity of the two nations and the history between them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
